Piaggio X9 250 SL redux

After over a year on the X9 250 and 12,000 miles it was getting long in the tooth so regrettably had to go. It has been a please to ride. The replacement is ... er ... almost exactly the same, an X9 250 SL in Imperial Blue. More on my year on an X9 250 soon, and some observations on how different two bikes that are the same can be!
